The Dance School Experience Made Easy

The Renaissance School of Dance was created to help kids thrive on and off the dance floor. Our supportive and caring teachers will introduce your child to social skills and tools for life, not just movement and music (although that part is pretty awesome).

Parents…We’ve thought of you too…

We organise costumes, take care of hair and makeup on performance days, and have an on-site uniform shop so that adding dance lessons as an extracurricular activity doesn’t add to your stress. Oh and did we mention we also have an app to keep communication, payments and even videos from classes – all in one handy place!

RSD offers over 65 classes per week at our Auckland studio. Choose your style, or choose your teacher or choose your day!

1-2 years old

Introduce your baby or toddler to the fun world of dance.

3-4 years old

Friendly teachers help little ones build confidence and skills.

5-12 years old

Growing dancers master the foundations of dance.

Teenagers

Developing expressive, confident & creative movers.

Miss 11yo loves her classes, has been since she was 5yo and has added classes. Her favourite thing this year is that she is able to do the leadership program level 1 as a student teacher.

My daughter joined the dance school earlier this year, aged 12. It was her first time doing dance lessons. By the end of the year she was good enough to perform a solo in the show and pass dance exams. But most of all she loved it. Everyone in the school provides incredible training, support and encouragement. They made her feel really welcome, even though she was new, and there is a lovely warm atmosphere at the school.

My daughter loves coming here. It took her a couple of trials to find the class which suited her and I was so grateful for the kindness shown by Marguerite and the team. The teachers and staff are incredibly respectful, talented and such skilful teachers, my daughter is thriving!

Our daughter has been dancing for most of her life but we didn't feel at home in our last studio - despite lovely teachers and having been there for several years. So I did some research and found RSD (during the height of the pandemic). Marguerite is always lovely, easy to talk to, passionate and hardworking. Communications to parents are brief, relevant and organised, the online system for booking classes is fantastic for introverts like me but I also feel comfortable asking questions from any staff member. It is clear that the teachers and students love classes, and the students learn a variety of skills/movement types but also have fun, our daughter is thriving and motivated to do well. There is a lot of snobbery in Auckland within Dance, but not here, people are welcome and the studio is a safe space. I highly recommend this studio for anyone not sure about where they are, you won't regret it!
